  • Classic Game Room HD – DIG DUG for Playstation 3 PS3 review

    Classic Game Room HD reviews DIG DUG for Playstation 3 PS3, part of the Namco Museum Essentials collection downloadable from the Playstation Network for PS3. This version of Dig Dug looks sharp, sounds good and plays like Dig Dug should play. There’s no messing with the classic, this is Dig Dug presented in its true arcade form. Solid gameplay as you dig through the levels and drop boulders on enemis like Fygars. Namco Museum Essentials comes with six games: Dig Dug, Xevious, Pac Man, Galaga, Dragon Spirit and Xevious Resurrection. Dig Dug has unlockable prizes for Playstation Home and trophies for PS3. This CGR review of Namco’s 1982 classic re-release Dig Dug on Playstation 3 has Dig Dug gameplay from PS3 in HD showing classic, retro, arcade style coin-op Dig Dug video game play in action. You can unlock the Dig Dug arcade cabinet for Playstation Home with the Dig Dug trial version (which is free).

    I love Dig Dug… odd because I don’t like Pac-Man.

    But aren’t PS3 Trophies the exact same thing?

    One controller to rule them all!

    I suck at 8bit arcades except for Mario bros., Dig Dug, and Mappy :(

    A dream come true for those of us who settled for Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Colecovision, Sega Genesis versions.

    I have the MAME32 emulator on the PC which allows even more customization. But to be able to play the EXACT copy of the arcade game, from the demo screens to the insert coin and high score menus all on the PS3 in the living room couch is AWESOME! KEEP ‘EM COMING!

    PS3 Trophies = 360 Achievements

  9. TOALEWA466 said on March 22nd, 2010 at 12:22 am

    Higher Resolution would be my guess.

  10. TOALEWA466 said on March 22nd, 2010 at 12:23 am

    The PS3 trophies are the exact same thing dude.

    Mark’s pretty deft at Dig Dug — nice playing.

  12. TheMVRules said on March 22nd, 2010 at 6:32 pm

    I am not impressed…the PS3 is millions times more powerful than the Dig Dug original hardware, they could at least improve the graphics…

  13. jeffhanson1 said on March 22nd, 2010 at 9:27 pm

    The whole point of these classic games is to have them in original form as they were when we were in the arcades playing them. If you’re older & played these back then, you can relate. We all know today’s computers and consoles are 1000 times more powerful & yes, they could improve graphics, BUT many of us just want to go back in time as it was back then. Maybe enhanced versions IN ADDITION TO would be ok.That’s why all these retro arcade collections have been so popular on all systems.

    @oc395 No, the actual hardware is garbage.
    The stick and buttons are junk, cheap garbage, horrible switches.

  17. tlalotoani said on March 23rd, 2010 at 10:46 pm

    Why repair if it´s not broken

  18. sonicadventuredude said on March 26th, 2010 at 2:14 am

    My cousin has a graphic updated 2 player version of this game on Gamecube and it was awesome. I would play it again. And again, and again and again and again…

  19. NESMiggs said on March 26th, 2010 at 6:37 pm

    no space Gar gee i wonder why

  20. Steve10578 said on March 26th, 2010 at 7:35 pm

    @TheMVRules – They probably just wanted to release it arcade perfect.

  21. AncestralKnowledge said on March 28th, 2010 at 11:50 pm

    x-arcade?? wtf man? every serious player on shoryuken says it’s horrible

  22. mariokiller55 said on March 31st, 2010 at 1:32 am

    No offense dig dug nerds; but i agree with TheMVRules

  23. guitarguyvskidkash88 said on March 31st, 2010 at 5:27 am

    that was on the gameboy advance

  24. infringementMAN said on March 31st, 2010 at 6:32 pm

    @TheMVRules – Yes, graphics is EVERYTHING in a game. Forget gameplay, let’s just focus on the graphics. Graphics, graphics, graphics. What exactly were you expecting from a 30 year old game, ultra realistic 3D, anti-aliasing, bloom? C’mon.

    Old arcade games are meant to be PLAYED not look pretty.

  25. themayor787 said on March 31st, 2010 at 10:42 pm

    @infringementMAN I agree %100 percent. ‘Hey, guys, this was rated the #1 game of all time, but it’s graphics suck, let’s go play MW2!’
    Jesus, graphics don’t matter, it’s the GAMEPLAY that counts…
